Chapter 46, The First Time I Actively Exploited Freebies
"Ah Fei, Jiangnan is nice!"
After only meeting Leslie Cheung once, the two became friends. Together with Wong Cho-han, they drank and ate skewers at the Temple Street night market, exchanging ideas on music creation.
"Ah Fei, on the second day of our MV shoot in Hong Kong, an amazing piece of news came from the entertainment industry: Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng's latest film, 'Once Upon a Time in China: Dragon City Annihilation,' actually invited Jiang Nan to audition."
I also heard that Tsui Hark saw Jiang Nan practicing Tai Chi and immediately recognized him as Li Lianjie's successor.
"Afei, don't worry, Jiangnan is a reliable person!"
For today's music video shoot, I specially invited Li Jiaxin, Li Zi, and Chen Songling. These three are all top beauties in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
But Jiangnan wouldn't even look at them. After filming his own scenes, he immediately sat down to rest on the street, never exchanging a single word with them.
"Ah Fei, today is the last day for Jiang Nan to film the music video in Hong Kong. At seven o'clock in the morning, just after I got up, Wang Zuxian arrived at the Grand Hotel and insisted that he help write the song."
Therefore, he also invited Jiangnan to breakfast.
However, paparazzi took photos of the two of them having breakfast on the street. If it makes the news, please don't mind.
...
During the time Wang Fei was in Jiangnan filming music videos in Hong Kong and Taiwan, she received calls from her former manager, Chen Jiantian, almost every day.
During the phone call, Chen Jiantian never hesitated to praise Jiangnan.
Whenever she speaks on the phone, Wang Fei's mood rises to a new level of joy.
"After all this time in Hong Kong, I'm still just an acquaintance of Leslie Cheung, yet Jiangnan has become his friend?"
"I knew I hadn't misjudged him. Jiangnan is quite responsible; now that he has a girlfriend, he's mindful of maintaining distance from other women."
However, there are also hidden worries amidst the happiness.
Jiangnan is incredibly beautiful, and her musical talent is phenomenal. In Taipei, she just listened to Wang Zuxian talk about her personal life and casually wrote a song called "Can't Say Goodbye".
When Leslie Cheung saw this song, he, who had already announced his retirement from the music industry, actually decided to return to the music scene for this song?!
If this news gets out, I believe many beautiful women in the music industry will flock to Jiangnan.
Didn't you see how ugly Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou are, yet they are still the darlings of Zhang Aijia and Lin Yilian? Well, to be more precise, they should be called male gods!
and also…
At this time, the Hong Kong film industry is in chaos. Last year, Jet Li's manager, Choi Chi-ming, was shot and killed.
If Jiangnan were to be unremarkable under Tsui Hark's direction, that would be fine. But Zhao Wenzhuo, in the eyes of those bigwigs in the underworld, was just a money-loser.
But if Jiangnan really becomes an overnight sensation, there's a real possibility that someone will have to hold a gun to his head to film a movie.
Thinking of this, Wang Fei, who was recording her first Mandarin album in Beijing, lost all interest in working and approached music producer Yang Minghuang, saying:
"My boyfriend, Jiangnan, has an audition for Tsui Hark's movie this afternoon, so I have to go with him. As for the remaining four songs, we'll record them tomorrow or the day after!"
After saying that, without waiting for Yang Minghuang's agreement, Wang Fei bought a plane ticket for the morning and flew back to Hong Kong.

October 3rd, 11:10 AM
After filming the last shot of the music video for "Betrayal Love Song" on Tuen Mun Road in Hong Kong, Jiangnan concluded all his work for his trip to Hong Kong and Taiwan.
At the same time, he also received news from Chen Jiantian that the release date of the album "Jiangnan's Single Love Songs" would be moved up to October 8th.
The number 8 sounds like the word for "prosperity," making it a perfect time to release an album.
As for the music video "Heartless Love Letter" that Jiangnan was going to film at the Central Academy of Drama, Chen Jiantian felt it was fine to have it or not.
It won't affect the overall album release at all!
If the MV quality is subpar, consider it as Chen Jiantian paying 3000 yuan to let the singers under his company have some fun.
Jiangnan was seething with resentment.
When I return to the capital, I'll take Li Naiwen, Tang Xu, and Zhu Yuanyuan to film a really unique music video. I'll show you bastards just how awesome creativity is 30 years from now!
Of course, anger aside, the important business still needs to be done.
After returning from Tuen Mun Road, Jiangnan had lunch at the Chinese restaurant on the second floor of the Grand Hi-Lai Hotel. Dressed in loose clothing, he went to the mezzanine meeting room.
At 3 p.m., the audition for "Once Upon a Time in China III" will be held here. According to Shi Nansheng, not only will investor Wu Siyuan be there, but all the other confirmed lead actors for the film will also be present.
But that's not the point. The point is that martial arts choreographer Yuen Woo-ping will be coming.
It didn't matter whether others came or not, but upon hearing that this fellow was coming, Jiangnan felt a little uneasy.
The Tai Chi skills were stolen, and the victim was none other than Jet Li. In the field of martial arts choreography, Yuen Woo-ping is a grandmaster, a figure of immense stature, and knows countless styles of martial arts. During the audition, he asked, "Jiang Nan, what other styles of martial arts do you know?"
Wouldn't that mean I'm doomed?
So Jiang Nan decided to arrive at the audition early and wait until Yuen Woo-ping entered. Then, he would use his flattery skills, which he had learned from Feng Xiaogang, to ask him to teach him a few tricks on the spot…
In this way, I can copy what others have done.
With this in mind, Jiangnan pushed open the door and entered the conference room. Just as she was about to observe the layout of the conference room, she spotted a very handsome and energetic man.
"Hello, Senior Brother Zhao, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
They're all from mainland China!
They were both college students, and Jiang Nan felt an instant connection with Zhao Wenzhuo. She grabbed his hand, wanting to ask, "Everyone's saying you're dating Mei Yanfang, is it true or not?"
"I am Zhao Wenzhuo, and you are?"
Zhao Wenzhuo was also very happy. In this environment where language is not easy, it is really rare to meet someone who speaks Mandarin so fluently.
"I am Jiangnan..."
It would have been fine if Jiang Nan hadn't mentioned his name, but as soon as he did, Zhao Wenzhuo immediately shook off his hand.
It's understandable when you think about it. After starring in Wong Fei-hung 4 and Green Snake, he was just about to make a name for himself when suddenly, Wong Fei-hung 5 was going to replace him, and his competitor was Jiang Nan.
No one could stand it!
My hand was flung away.
Jiangnan was in a bit of an awkward situation. If it were his old temper, he would have ignored her if she ignored him.
But now...
"Hehe... Brother Zhao, I know you're angry, but you should think of it this way: even without Jiang Nan, Li Nan and Zhao Nan would still appear. The root cause is that the box office of your film, Wong Fei-hung 4, was too dismal."
Compared to "Once Upon a Time in China IV," the box office performance of your film "Once Upon a Time in China IV" was more than halved.
"snort…"
Although Zhao Wenzhuo understood the reasoning, he still didn't give Jiang Nan a friendly look. Originally, the chair was placed at the door.
Now, he snorted and carried the chair to the window.
Under normal circumstances, if the other party had this attitude, Jiangnan should have stopped there, but he refused to.
He walked over to the conference table, picked up a bottle of mineral water, and threw it directly at Zhao Wenzhuo. If Zhao Wenzhuo didn't reach out to catch it, it would hit him in the face.
"Senior Brother Zhao, have some water!"
To be fair, Zhao Wenzhuo's kung fu was quite good. He didn't even observe the location of the mineral water bottle; he simply reached out with his left hand and caught it steadily.
But he didn't drink it; he just put the water on the windowsill.
hiss…
After observing the area above the guy's head and finding no text appearing, Jiangnan felt a bit puzzled.
However, that's just Jiangnan's personality; he becomes more courageous with each setback. Didn't you refuse my help?
But I'm determined to help you!
"Brother Zhao, want a smoke?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the items arrived: a lighter, a pack of cigarettes, and an ashtray were tossed over by Jiangnan.
"Brother Zhao, wipe your sweat?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the item arrived, and a box of tissues on the conference table flew over.
Zhao Wenzhuo remained the same as always: if you throw something at me, I'll catch it, but I'll leave it all on the windowsill, ignoring your kindness.
"hiss…"
Faced with the stubborn Zhao Wenzhuo, even the usually resourceful Jiangnan felt a bit stumped.
So, he rolled his eyes and stopped what he was doing.
"Brother Zhao, how about I sing you a song?"
"Hahaha…"
The laughter came out of nowhere.
Startled by the sudden appearance of Jiang Nan and Zhao Wenzhuo, who were secretly vying for attention, Jiang Nan turned around and saw a stunningly beautiful woman in a red dress standing gracefully at the entrance of the conference room.
She possesses both aloofness and allure; when she doesn't smile, she exudes an air of detached nobility, but when she smiles, her eyes reveal tenderness, making her vibrant and captivating, able to steal a man's attention at a glance.
Rosamund Kwan, she truly is the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong.
Jiang Nan secretly admired her, but ignored her and instead spoke to Zhao Wenzhuo on her own:
"Brother Zhao, I like a woman. She is a few years older than me, but her every smile and frown seems to be engraved in my bones."
So, I wrote this song for her!
Brother Zhao, if you ever meet a girl a few years older than you, you can sing this song to her. As long as you can sing the whole song, I guarantee she'll accept your advances.
As Jiang Nan looked up at Zhao Wenzhuo, she could vaguely see the words above his head.
Zhao Wenzhuo
The White Ape Tongbei Fist is an excellent fist technique; with a single outstretched arm, its power can travel a great distance. A single burst of force connects the entire spine, creating a whip-like force, giving it a significant advantage in long-range attacks. Should we acquire this skill or not?
Jiangnan first silently shouted "Get it!" in his heart, and then began to sing:
"Longing is a very mysterious thing."
如影随形
It appears silently and without a trace in the depths of my heart.
In the blink of an eye, I was swallowed up in silence.
